Gen X quiz

As I wait for my Intro to PR students to finish their midterms, I am reading Jeff Gordinier's X Saves The World. I must share the GXAT (Generation X Aptitude Test). What's your answer to this question - Do you want to change the world?

1. Yes, and I'm proud to say we did it, man. We changed the world. Just look around you!

2. Yes, absolutely, and I promise I will get back to doing it just as soon as interest rates return to where they're supposed to be.

3. Omigod, omigod, changing the world and helping people is, like, totally important to me! I worked in a soup kitchen once and it was so sad but the poor people there had so much dignity!

4. The way you phrase that question is so fucking cheesy and absurd that I am not even sure I want to continue with this pointless exercise.

That's the only question on the GXAT. If you answered #4, you're an Xer (no matter your age). What did you answer?

now dear one send me a pick of you in your tee - I want one for my wall of fame ... I'll email you my address - yahoooo !! MIC who is a boomer - my husband - thought it was just another bit of le silliness ... well goodness gracious me - I am the queen tonight - ya :) le xox
